SPONSOR A DOG OR A CAT

Page 19

I came to the Rescue Centre not
as a stray dog but as a stray puppy. I was very grown up for my 10 weeks
when I was found by one of the volunteers. He reckoned I wasn’t able to look
after myself even though I am sure I could have done if I had had more time
and better access to food. I used to go through the garbage and eat rotten
food. After six months at the Center in Chaweng I was transferred to the big
shelter and I have lots of fun here. There is endless food and I play the
whole day with the other dogs. The biggest game of all is to digs holes in
the ground.

After some
time I got bored at the shelter and decided to made a bid for freedom!

at Ban Taling Ngam, Silke from Luneburg in Germany was looking after me.
Thank you very much.

FORGET- ME - NOT (male)

I was brought in by my owner because I
had broken two of my legs after a car accident - I had been chasing cars
which, up until then, had been my favorite game. I rolled under the car and
broke my left front and back right legs. Brigitte looked after me at her
house and my owner visited frequently. Then he stopped coming and never
returned. I looked and looked for him but to no avail. After a few months,
my legs healed and I was able to walk without limping. I was moved down to
Ban Taling Ngam and now live in one of the compounds there. I am quite happy
here but I still with my owner would come back. Maybe one day.

Good news: Together with Jumbo I
found a new home on Koh Samui! My new owner has 4 horses and at night we
sleep in the stable. We are both very happy.

For the time I was living in
the shelter, Katja from Bamberg in Germany was looking after me. Thank you
very much!

KIWI (male)

I was brought in as a
young pup by a tourist who was worried about me wandering around in the
traffic at Nathan. She thought I couldn't look after myself. I stayed at the
shelter in Chaweng for a while and grew bigger and bigger until I was the
biggest dog there. After a while, Brigitte felt I would be happier living in
Ban Taling Ngam so I came down here and I now live in a compound with
another 15 dogs. That's fun, especially when Jumbo, Lord and I play the
jumping-up game: that's when all three of us simultaneously jump up on an
unsuspecting human visitor! Good game.

Hurra! I have found
a new home on Koh Samui.

While I was living at the shelter, Britta and Marcus
from Ennepetal in Germany were looking after me. Thank you very much!

YING
(female)

I was brought to the
shelter as a puppy with my four brothers and sisters. We had been separated
from our mother too early and had been dumped on a path in the middle of
nowhere. At first my brothers and sisters (two of each) lived in a small
kennel but, after a while, they started to disappear, one by one. It always
happened after a visit by a human who wanted a puppy (but not me). Soon,
everyone was gone except me so I was allowed to run around the house at Ban
Taling Ngam until I was big enough to go in one of the compounds. I like it
here in the compound. The dogs speak doggie to me - it can be difficult to
understand humans at times.

After a while I decided to take my life in my own paw and ran away.

While I
was living at the shelter, Tarja and Ari from
Finland were looking after me. Thank you very much!

LISA SONG
(female)

I was found in the sea
by Michael and his wife who had been walking on the beach. I was close to
death so they took me to see Dr Somsak. Dr Somsak gave me special medication
and operated on me and I was brought to Brigitte's house to recuperate. I
didn't really like it here and ran away but quickly realized that I could
not look after myself. I returned to Brigitte's house as I knew she would
feed me well - that evening I got some lovely red snapper cooked especially
for me. I am still very thin but am responding to some tender loving care.
From time to time I run away. But after two days I always return home to be
fed and cuddled. Brigitte is always very happy when she sees me again.

While I was living
at Brigitte`s house, Margarethe from Frankfurt in Germany was looking after
me. Thank you very much!

HASI (male)

I was a special
'donation' from a farang who left me chained up outside the shelter. I am a
big dog (XL) but I'm frightened of smaller dogs (M)! That doesn't make me a
bad dog, does it? I really wish my owner would come back and get me. Every
day I look out of the gate, watching for him.

Meanwhile I found a
new owner on Koh Samui and I am very happy.

While I was living in the
shelter, Silvia, Marc, Alain and Sabrina from Genf in Switzerland were
looking after me. Thank you very much!
